Around SBN: In Crunch Time, Spurs Don't Change Their Game

BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T ASK: LET'S HELP JADEVEON CLOWNEY CHOOSE A SCHOOL

SPOILER ALERT

Jadeveon Clowney will have to choose between South Carolina and Clemson soon. Soon in this instance indicates a timeframe stretching sometime between now and the deadline to register for classes at either school for the fall. (Attention Clowney brain trust: THERE IS NO HOLDOUT IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL REPEAT THERE IS NO HOLDOUT.)  

The choice may seem odd for the uninitiated: both schools boast remarkable similarities in student body makeup, academic profile, cultural overlap, and history. How can this be such a hard choice, especially with both schools keeping Clowney, the nation's number one defensive end overall coming out of high school, close to his ancestral home of Rock Hill, South Carolina?*

*The ancestral home where he broke his way out of his rock-egg and took his place among the other rock giants. They stride along Rock Hill unbidden and unowned, free men who smell a finer air than we do while living centuries under nothing like the tyranny the rest of South Carolina experienced under its despotic leader ROBOSTROM. Even the reanimated brain of Strom Thurmond kept alive in a robot carapace fears the rock people of Rock Hill, and lets them live unmolested by the greedy hand of his kleptocratic rule.

The two school are very different, in fact, something we'll help highlight in this edition of EDSBS: Because You Didn't Ask (Free Advice).

Star-divide

CONFERENCE.

The ACC produces almost as much talent as the SEC in the NFL draft, and usually without falling prey to many of the sketchy academic practices and recruiting chicanery found in the SEC. If and when Clemson wins a conference title, it will take place in a stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina in front of tens of thousands of interested fans. Your media day has an infinitely better spread to mack on, and your reporters probably won't ask you for autographs. It's a nice conference, just like a coffee table or a cup of tea can be "nice." 

In the SEC people will leave death threats on your Facebook page while simultaneously naming their children after you. The conference championship game happens in the Georgia Dome, a building heated by the breath of homeless people who sleep underneath and around it in downtown Atlanta. You may not ever have to go to a class that isn't just filling out ScanTron cards. Boosters will give you money improperly and with frequency because they do not care about the rules. This is true at every school in the conference, and only the degrees of insane corruption vary. 

Final note: no one will ever try to tip over your bus and set you on fire on the way into an ACC game, and they will never be your home fans, most certainly. We promise this part is true.

Advantage: SEC/South Carolina

 

SEX 

A conundrum since one in four college students have an STD, meaning your odds are bad wherever you go. This is a trick question, however, since the city of Columbia, South Carolina is actually made of pure syphilis. Quality may be slightly higher on the SEC side, since you don't get syphilis by being an ugly introvert, but still.

Advantage: Clemson

 

 

VARIETY OF EVENTUAL LOSS/DISAPPOINTMENT

The same for both teams, since Clemson and South Carolina both botch seasons in a variety of exciting ways. Both have flopped heinously on big national stages (see Tommy Bowden's 2008 opener or the Arkansas game last year for South Carolina.) Both have run out to good records and overblown national rankings before flailing late; both have faceplanted early and recovered. For more consistency overall go with Clemson, but if in your chest beats the heart of a white-knuckled gambler and masochist, South Carolina has the edge on pure pain/payoff per season. 

NO DECLARED ADVANTAGE

 

CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT

See "Columbia: made of syphilis and smells like tire fire." Also, no one has ever been carted off the field by human traffickers and sold for parts in the middle of a game, as happened to Blake Mitchell in the middle of the 2006 Georgia game. The locals will not lift a finger to help you, either, because they all get a cut both literally and figuratively. (Also, the question of whether Blake Mitchell was worth saving from bandits is a perfectly legitimate one from a football perspective.) Columbia is full of cannibal kidney salespeople, and we did not just make that up.

As with Auburn, we're not even sure if they have police in Clemson, or what they do if they do exist. They don't need them very often for anything, though, as bobcats with guns strapped to their paws rule the streets and keep a tight general public order. Feed them raw meat, and there will be no trouble.

Advantage: CLEMSON

 

COACH

One is a grown man named Dabo, and the other is Steve Spurrier. 

Advantage: SOUTH CAROLINA

 

 

MASCOT 

Picture-19_medium

NOT EVEN REALLY A CHOICE IS THERE NOPE NO THERE'S NOT BABY I JUST PUT A HAMMER IN THE MICROWAVE LET'S SEE IF IT COMES TO LIFE AND DANCES I HOPE IT DOES HEY SPARKS---

Advantage: CLEMSON

 

FOOD


This is a serious matter, and it has to lean towards Columbia, whose sad residents eat their sorrows in a thousand tasty variations. This is more a matter of numbers due to Columbia's larger population and larger restaurant community, and due to the surprising tastiness of human meat smoked for hours over a wood fire and served with mustard sauce. Don't judge the long pig until you've tried it. 

Advantage: SOUTH CAROLINA

 

CHAMPIONSHIP POTENTIAL: A tricky issue given South Carolina's position in the SEC, where they have one the SEC East title once in their history and have never so much as touched the conference championship. In contrast. Clemson has 13 ACC titles, though they haven't got a fresh one since 1991. Clemson has a clear advantage here, as Coach Rodriguez will probably bring one in sometime between 2012 and 2014 if current Coach Swinney continues to leave him this much talent.

Advantage: CLEMSON

 

CLIMATE: It comes down to one question with these two schools: do you want cursed blood-rain (Columbia), or charming tainted agricultural chemical rain (Clemson)? We opt for the latter, since it doesn't stain clothes.

Advantage: CLEMSON

 

APPAREL COMPATIBILITY: Garnet and Black is tricky, but it's not purple and orange, two colors we're not even sure really match together, much less in combination with anything else. Orange is the Genghis Khan of colors, fashion-wise: it gets along with nothing, obliterates everything it's placed with, and kills everyone who looks directly at it.

Advantage: SOUTH CAROLINA

 

That's a marginal break 5-4 to Clemson for Clowney's services. So glad we could make this easy for you, Mr. Clowney.

That game was the same weekend as the Ron Artest melee

It was also opening weekend of rifle deer hunting season. I was at “Deer Camp” with my family. It was a great weekend. For those unfamiliar with Deer Camp, about 20 adult males in my family go to a remote cabin in Northern Wisconsin for deer season. About 4 of us actually hunt. I would include myself in this, because I do buy a tag, but the only way I’m getting a deer is if it runs through the bar, past the card table and I hit it with the whisky bottle.

Feed Stations are highly illegal in Wisconsin

And I find them morally reprehensible. There is no sport there. This is also why I haven’t hunted with a firearm since I was a teenager.

No DNR does

But if you put your feeder several miles into the woods and in a hard to reach location, you will have a hard time getting caught, also you have to do a good job of hiding the stand nearby or just using a climber.

Property I used to hunt up in Wf'nV had a couple 'feed stations'

They were old apple trees left over from when the land supported a farm family. They moved off the land about 60 years ago and the forest swallowed it back up. You can’t see them from the dirt road or the old overgrown logging railroad grade.

These "feed stations" that I'm talking about

are large barrel like things filled with corn set to a timer that spits out corn whenever the timer goes off. The critters eventually get trained to head over to the feeder whenever they hear the corn ticking through the machine.

Choosing the right college

Haha this post was awesome! People take recruiting very seriously and I like how you broke down the components necessary for choosing a school. It’s not all about the athletics a school can provide but it’s also about the student body and academics. An athlete has to enjoy where he plays and the environment he lives in. Although you joke about it, athletes really do need to consider climate, food, town population, etc. in order to determine where their best fit is… after all college will last four years so they need to pick a place that will keep them happy.

At least you have 3 respectable HS football teams...

Lancaster is right next door and all we have is a track team in shoulder pads. How about lending us Northwestern? I would say South Pointe but i dont like their unis

In the spirit of what is apparently Sincere Commenter Day here at EDSBS:

I am optimistic about Notre Dame’s prospects for the 2011 season. The Irish return a veteran team that improved significantly over the course of last season, and face what appears to be a manageable schedule. However, my expectations are tempered by past disappointment and an uncertain quarterback situation, as well as anhnnnnnnghghghghGNGHA OMG OMG RETURN TO GLORY OMG 13-0 OMG KELLY IS LOU ARA KNUTE MOTHERFUCKING ROCKNE GLOR GLORY GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was one game where Jerome Bettis hit an MSU guy so hard he went to the ND huddle by accident

we thought he was dead. The stadium went silent (I was 5 and really did think he was dead)

I was more referring to Chris Zorich than the jersey itself.

I was in 10th grade that season and spent the rest of my FB career trying to BE Zorich.

The maddest I've ever made a state employee in SC

was when I was registering my car and pointed out to the lady serving me (who by the way had no less than 50 pieces of USC memorabilia in her little desk area including a Gamecock Barbie) that the SC license plates were Clemson colors:

The blue reads much more purple in person…

You only did that AFTER you got your plates, right?

Because Carolina DMV ladies are nothing to fuck with. When I lived in the area, it took me four trips to get my plates and licenses, including taking another test despite having a valid license already. There was a very good reason I looked like a serial killer in that DMV photo.
